If you use large cookware with a smaller ferromagnetic
base, only the area that is ferromagnetic heats up. As a
result, the heat is not distributed evenly. The temperat-
ure of the non-ferromagnetic area may therefore be too
low for cooking.
Cookware bases that contain aluminium reduce the fer-
romagnetic area. This may reduce the output and the
cookware will not be detected sufficiently or at all, and
will therefore not be heated sufficiently.
Unsuitable cookware
Never use flow plates or cookware made of the follow-
ing:
¡ Thin-walled normal steel
¡ Glass
¡ Clay
¡ Copper
¡ Aluminium
Composition of the cookware base
The material(s) from which the base of the cookware is
made can affect the cooking result. Cookware made of
materials that distribute heat evenly in the pot, such as
saucepans with a stainless steel sandwich base, save
time and energy.
You should preferably use cookware with a flat base
because uneven cookware bases impair the heat sup-
ply.
No cookware/cookware of an unsuitable size
If you do not place cookware on the selected cooking
zone or the cookware is made of an unsuitable mater-
ial or is not the right size for the cooking zone, the dis-
play for the cooking zone flashes. To make the display
go out, place a suitable item of cookware on the cook-
ing zone. If you do not place a suitable item of cook-
ware on the cooking zone within 90 seconds, it auto-
matically switches off.
Empty cookware or cookware with a thin base
Do not heat empty cookware and do not use cookware
with a thin base. The hob is equipped with an internal
safety system. However, empty cookware may heat up
so quickly that the "Automatic switch-off" function does
not respond in good time and an excessive temperat-
ure is reached. As a result, the base of the cookware
may melt and damage the glass plate. In this case, do
not touch the cookware and switch off the cooking
zone. If the cooking zone no longer works after cooling
down, contact the technical after-sales service.
Cookware detection
Each cooking zone has a minimum limit for the cook-
ware detection and this depends on the ferromagnetic
diameter and the material of the base of the cookware.
Therefore, use the cooking zone that best corresponds
to the diameter of the pan base.
